Creating a squad

You need at least one free squad slot and 4 adult pets to make a squad.

You can get squad slots by constructing the Military Academy (1 squad slot for every Academy level) and by using the Mercenary License from the premium shop.

To create a squad, move 4 pets in a separate group. Click "Edit Group" icon which appears near the group name when you hover over it.

Click "Upgrade to Squad" button in the popup and you're done. You can also downgrade the squad to a normal group if needed.

Moving and fighting on the Battlefield

All of your pets in the squad require 10 energy to move, fight or make maneuvers reroll at the Battlefield. You start your way from any of the shore zones. Then you will be able to move to any adjacent zone if the access here isn’t blocked by impassable objects like mountains, forests or ravines. You need to make a defensive roll every time you move. Your opponent will fight against this roll if he decides to take the zone occupied by your squad. The battle starts when one squad wants to occupy the zone where another squad is standing. Then the attacker makes an attacking roll where he needs to score more points than his opponent.

Battle consists of 4 rounds. You roll 4 maneuvers in every round, 1 maneuver for every squad pet. Then you can reroll any number of maneuvers. After the 4th round is finished, the scored points are compared with the points of the opponent. The squad that scored more points is a winner. The loser retreats to the free adjacent zone or leaves the island if there is no free zone next to him. The winning squad makes a defensive roll after the battle. The opponent will fight against this roll if he decides to take the zone occupied by the winning squad.

You have 5 minutes to make your attacking or defensive roll. The roll will be cancelled if it’s not finished within this time. You can’t attack the opponent when he moves or fights. Also the squad can’t be attacked more often than once every 5 minutes.

All wins and losses on the battlefield are logged. You can check pet's profile and squad page to see how many battles were won and lost by this pet or squad.

Check this video to see how tactic battles work in action:

Maneuvers

You can select 3 maneuvers in the pet profile, and your pet will use them in battle. The fourth maneuver is a negative one. It doesn’t score any points or even gives -1 point. The type of this maneuver depends on the red negative genes that your pet has.

Every maneuver has its own features. You need to research the respective genes to reveal the genetic-dependent maneuvers.

Battlefield zones and their features

In the center of the map there's The Portal. You will earn rating points, silver coins and a Symurgh or Throdama every 10 hours if you're holding this zone.

The more battles have you won while defending the portal, the better pet will join you. Every battle adds 15% probability to get the positive and avoid the negative genes (but no more than 50% in total). Also the number of battle wins affects rating points: 3 points for every victory, basic value is is 3 points and silver: 1000 for every battle win, basic value is 4000.

There are 3 points that produce Vermillion: The Crimson Tree, The Ancient Battlefield and The Old Mine. You will earn 3 rating points, 2000 and 10 Vermillion every 10 hours if you're holding one of these points.

The Swamp zone located on the east decreases defense points by 1. Also there are 3 Watchtowers that provide 2 additional defense points.

Some zone borders are impassable. Mountains, forests and ravines are blocking the movement between zones.

Battlefield interface

Movement and attack are performed with the help of buttons at the bottom right corner of the map. Also there's a button that allows your squad to leave the island. You can't disband your squad while it's on the island.

You can see your own squad and other squads on the Battlefield. Red flags mean opponent squads, green flags mean your squads.

Your current squad.

The squad is doing nothing. You can attack this squad.

The squad is moving or attacking another squad. You can't attack this squad.

The squad was attacked recently. You can't attack this squad.

The squad is defending. You can't attack this squad.

Another squad is moving to this zone. You can't move here.

Moving on the Battlefield and discipline

Let's suppose that you occupied a point and want to hold it as long as possible. You rolled a good combination and don't want to change it. But it's not as easy as it seems. Your pets are live creatures. The discipline weakens with time and the combination starts to change. The rules are the following:

First 10 hours cycle - the discipline is stable

Second 10 hours cycle - 1 random maneuver is re-rolled

Third 10 hours cycle - 2 random maneuvers are re-rolled

Fourth 10 hours cycle and later - 3 random maneuvers are re-rolled

The discipline will start to weaken only from the 3rd cycle if your squad has 2 or more Determined pets.

The maximum of 2 maneuvers instead of 3 will be re-rolled if your squad has 2 or more pets with Paws Memory.

Rating

You can earn rating points by holding the points on the Battlefield and battling there. You will get the discount for auction bids depending on your position in the tactics chart.

1st place - 20% discount

Top 5 - 15% discount

Top 10 - 10% discount

How this works: for example, you want to buy a pet for 1000 and you take the first place in chart. You will pay only 800 while the seller gets the full price of 1000 for his pet.

The rating doesn't affect private sales.
